The car drives fine, but grinds sometimes in 3rd & 4th. I think it needs a new synchro. Its at my mechanic's shop. If you're interested, we can work out having him fix it before you take it.

I'm from New Haven - Montville is only like 30-40 min away. If you want to check it out you can contact me. [email protected]

wait a minute, i actually have a corrado and why exactly do you think the vr6 handles better? aside from the fact that the entire suspension, from the sway bars, bracing, and even the bushings are way beefier than in the g60 models. that is the only reason. the fact that the motor is heavier only makes it worse. take a vr6 corrado and throw in a g60 motor (i dont know why anyone would do this but lets just say) and after the swap it will handle better then it did before. vw placed the vr6 motor so far ahead of the front axles that it makes the car very nose heavy and creates intense understeer. not to say they dont handle well, but taking all that extra weight not only off the car but moving it back a little helps the handling immensely. same goes with h series swaps in anything but accords or preludes.

The vr6's handle better because they have a better wieght distrubition. GO to the Corrado forums, that's where I read it

show me a link id like to know where you found that. most of the fastest corrados out there, especially in autocross and other forms of non-straightline racing, consist of 4 cylinder cars. heck the fastest all motor corrado in drag racing is a 20v 4cylinder!!!

I got the h23. Mounts, wiring hrness, a set of ne valves, all the hardware, 2 intake and 2 exhaust manifolds and the engine has around 70k miles on it, deliverd for 350$.

I have a 5 speed H23 tranny if you need it, let me know...I'll sell it cheap...

take the $250+ and start saving for a b16 head...im sure you wont be sorry.

Are you f@#$ing serious?!?!?! - h series motors suck? you have got to be one of the stupidest people i have ever heard talk about imports. do the tuner world a favor go get an import tuner mag or look it up on line, just do something to get some tuner knowledge in your head.

the h series is the best go fast series honda has made to date.
do you realize that most hondas in the 9sec and lower range are 90% h series engines?

or do you live in a box watching nothing but f&tf talking abot how a cai really adds 14hp because the guy in the magazine said so? people ike you need to do some reasearch before passing these regurgitated opinions off as your own. you give me a strong, valid reson why the h-series suck and i will retract everything i have said and appologize

p.s. check ebay you can get mount kits at around $300-400

you are right in saying most of the fastest hondas are h series but i think he was referring to motors in stock form. for instance, a stock h series can handle very little boost while an ls can be boosted about twice as high as the h series can. the h series is just a weak motor in stock form. when built any motor can be strong. i think thats what he meant by saying they suck.

oh and i would never buy ebay motor mounts. i wouldnt want ebay products supporting my entire drivetrain and maintaining my correct drivetrain geometry.

[CivicSpoon]

Yeah e-bay mounts will break on you, don't go cheap for something like that because you'll just end up spending the $ to buy good ones anyways. But HCP has the mounts for $450 and they are good quality too.

Do you realize that H-series trannies lick ass, you need to sleeve them to even put a new set of pistons in, and they are more prone to detonation than the B-series. A b-series is a 10 times better platform for a street turbo car than an H-series is.

[Integra_mods]

Nopi pistons are the best
